Favourite twist punchline. See also: "Why can't Helen Keller get her driver's license?"

Frost died in 63 and Reznor was born in 65, 848 days apart. Closer is the track right after March of the Pigs which starts around the 848 second mark on The Downward Spiral. Coincidence?

... Yeah, probably

Still not as funny as the lead singer's reaction to Cash's cover of Hurt, but that's a pretty high bar.
